He'll presumably receive an invitation to spring training as well. The 29-year-old spent the entire 2013 season at Triple-A Louisville where he struggled to the tune of .219/.268/.319 with two homers and 17 RBI in 78 games. Sat, Dec 28, 2013 07:09:00 PM

Donald was designated for assignment earlier this week but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. He should be back in the majors later this season. Fri, Apr 5, 2013 08:45:00 AM

Reds designated INF Jason Donald for assignment.

Donald has batted just .257/.309/.362 during parts of three major league seasons, but he's versatile and hit pretty well in the minors, so someone could scoop him up off waivers. Cesar Izturis made the Opening Day roster over him. Sun, Mar 31, 2013 03:37:00 PM

It clears a roster spot for Sam Dyson. Before the injury, Chirinos was on pace for 14 homers and 52 RBI. Both would have been career highs. Bobby Wilson and Chris Gimenez will fill in at catcher during his absence.

Profar underwent surgery back in February to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder but has progressed nicely in his recovery so far. He has a long way to go to re-establish himself after missing back-to-back seasons because of injury.

He's slated for three rehab outings, as he'll go to Double-A Frisco for his second start and then back to Round Rock for his third. Assuming all goes well, Holland should rejoin the Rangers' rotation at that point. He's been on the shelf nearly all season due to a subscapular strain in his left shoulder.
